II Chronicles 24

Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beer–sheba.

Επτα ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωας οτε εβασιλευσεν εβασιλευσε δε τεσσαρακοντα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Σιβια, εκ Βηρ−σαβεε.

And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

Και επραττεν ο Ιωας το ευθες ενωπιον Κυριου, πασας τας ημερας Ιωδαε του ιερεως.

And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.

Και ελαβεν εις αυτον ο Ιωδαε δυο γυναικας, και εγεννησεν υιους και θυγατερας.

And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.

Και μετα ταυτα ηλθεν εις την καρδιαν του Ιωας να ανακαινιση τον οικον του Κυριου.

And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.

Και συναγαγων τους ιερεις και τους Λευιτας, ειπε προς αυτους, Εξελθετε εις τας πολεις του Ιουδα, και συναγετε απο παντος του Ισραηλ αργυριον προς επισκευην του οικου του Θεου σας κατ ετος, και επισπευσατε το πραγμα οι Λευιται ομως δεν επεσπευσαν.

And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?

Και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς τον Ιωδαε τον αρχηγον και ειπε προς αυτον, Δια τι δεν εζητησας παρα των Λευιτων να εισπραξωσιν εκ του Ιουδα και εκ της Ιερουσαλημ τον φορον του Μωυσεως, του δουλου του Κυριου, και της συναγωγης του Ισραηλ, δια την σκηνην του μαρτυριου;

For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.

Διοτι η Γοθολια, η ασεβης, και οι υιοι αυτης κατεφθειραν τον οικον του Θεου και παντα ετι τα αφιερωματα του οικου του Κυριου ανεθηκαν εις τους Βααλειμ.

And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.

Εκαμον λοιπον κατα προσταγην του βασιλεως εν κιβωτιον, και εθεσαν αυτο εν τη πυλη του οικου του Κυριου εξω.

And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

Και διεκηρυξαν εις τον Ιουδαν και εις την Ιερουσαλημ να εισφερωσι προς τον Κυριον τον φορον του Μωυσεως του δουλου του Θεου, τον επιβληθεντα επι τον Ισραηλ εν τη ερημω.

And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

Και ηυφρανθησαν παντες οι αρχοντες και πας ο λαος, και εισεφερον και ερριπτον εις το κιβωτιον, εωσου γεμισθη.

Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

Οτε δε εφερετο το κιβωτιον προς τους επιστατας του βασιλεως δια χειρος των Λευιτων, και οτε αυτοι εβλεπον οτι ητο πολυ το αργυριον, ηρχετο ο γραμματευς του βασιλεως και ο επιστατης του ιερεως του πρωτου, και εξεκενονον το κιβωτιον και φεροντες εθετον αυτο παλιν εις τον τοπον αυτου. Ουτως εκαμνον καθ ημεραν και συνηγαγον αργυριον πολυ.

And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.

Και εδιδεν αυτο ο βασιλευς και ο Ιωδαε εις τους ποιουντας το εργον της υπηρεσιας του οικου του Κυριου, και εμισθονον κτιστας και ξυλουργους δια να ανακαινισωσι τον οικον του Κυριου και σιδηρουργους ετι και χαλκουργους, δια να επισκευασωσι τον οικον του Κυριου.

So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.

Και οι εργαζομενοι το εργον ειργαζοντο, και δια χειρος αυτων προεβη το εργον της επισκευης και αποκατεστησαν τον οικον του Θεου εις την προτεραν αυτου καταστασιν και εστερεωσαν αυτον.

And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

Και αφου ετελειωσαν, εφεραν το εναπολειφθεν αργυριον εμπροσθεν του βασιλεως και του Ιωδαε, και εκ τουτου κατεσκευασαν σκευη δια τον οικον του Κυριου, σκευη λειτουργιας και ολοκαυτωσεως και φιαλας και σκευη χρυσα και αργυρα. Και προσεφερον ολοκαυτωματα εν τω οικω του Κυριου δια παντος, πασας τας ημερας του Ιωδαε.

But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

Εγηρασε δε ο Ιωδαε και ητο πληρης ημερων, και απεθανεν εκατον τριακοντα ετων ηλικιας ητο οτε απεθανε.

And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.

Και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει Δαβιδ, μετα των βασιλεων επειδη επραξε καλον εν τω Ισραηλ και προς τον Θεον και τον οικον αυτου.

Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.

Μετα δε τον θανατον του Ιωδαε ηλθον οι αρχοντες του Ιουδα και προσεκυνησαν τον βασιλεα τοτε ο βασιλευς επηκουσεν αυτων

And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.

και εγκατελιπον τον οικον Κυριου του Θεου των πατερων αυτων, και ελατρευον τα αλση και τα ειδωλα και ηλθεν οργη κατα του Ιουδα και της Ιερουσαλημ, δια ταυτην την ανομιαν αυτων.

Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.

Απεστειλε μεν προς αυτους προφητας, δια να επαναφερωσιν αυτους εις τον Κυριον, και διεμαρτυρηθησαν εναντιον αυτων αλλα δεν εδωκαν ακροασιν.

And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.

Και περιεχυθη το Πνευμα του Θεου επι Ζαχαριαν τον υιον του Ιωδαε του ιερεως, και σταθεις επανωθεν του λαου, ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει ο Θεος Δια τι παραβαινετε σεις τας εντολας του Κυριου; δεν θελετε βεβαιως ευοδωθη επειδη σεις εγκατελιπετε τον Κυριον, και αυτος εγκατελιπεν εσας.

And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.

Και συνωμοσαν κατ αυτου και ελιθοβολησαν αυτον με λιθους δια προσταγης του βασιλεως εν τη αυλη του οικου του Κυριου.

Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.

Και δεν ενεθυμηθη Ιωας ο βασιλευς το ελεος, το οποιον εκαμεν εις αυτον Ιωδαε ο πατηρ αυτου, αλλ εθανατωσε τον υιον αυτου ενω δε απεθνησκεν, ειπεν, Ο Κυριος ας ιδη και ας εκζητηση.

And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.

Και εν τω τελει του ετους ανεβη το στρατευμα της Συριας εναντιον αυτου και ηλθον επι τον Ιουδαν και επι την Ιερουσαλημ, και εξωλοθρευσαν παντας τους αρχοντας του λαου εκ μεσου του λαου, και εστειλαν παντα τα λαφυρα αυτων προς τον βασιλεα της Δαμασκου.

For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.

Αν και το στρατευμα της Συριας ηλθε μετ ολιγων ανδρων, ο Κυριος ομως παρεδωκε στρατευμα μεγα σφοδρα εις την χειρα αυτων, επειδη εγκατελιπον Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτων και εξετελεσαν κρισιν κατα του Ιωας.

And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.

Αφου δε ανεχωρησαν απ αυτου, αφησαντες αυτον εν αρρωστιαις μεγαλαις, συνωμοσαν εναντιον αυτου οι δουλοι αυτου δια το αιμα των υιων Ιωδαε του ιερεως, και εθανατωσαν αυτον επι της κλινης αυτου, και απεθανε και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει Δαβιδ, δεν εθαψαν ομως αυτον εν τοις ταφοις των βασιλεων.

And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.

Οι δε συνομοσαντες εναντιον αυτου ησαν ουτοι Ζαβαδ ο υιος της Σιμεαθ της Αμμωνιτιδος και Ιωζαβαδ ο υιος της Σιμριθ της Μωαβιτιδος.

Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

Περι δε των υιων αυτου και του πληθους των υπ αυτου φορτιων, και της επισκευης του οικου του Θεου, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τοις υπομνημασι του βιβλιου των βασιλεων. Εβασιλευσε δε αντ αυτου Αμασιας ο υιος αυτου.
